Please, please, everyone: people don't send viruses. Viruses send themselves, usually without the knowledge of the sending victim. Fred E. Jackson is a subscriber to the Rollei list. His computer is probably infected with the Badtrans virus. That virus looked into his mailbox, found all of the email addresses in it, and sent copies of itself to each.

The Klez virus forges the identity of the sender; the Badtrans virus does not.
